Crimson Desert gets first US Hands-On at PAX East 2025

We've been waiting for Crimson Desert for a while now, and it looks like we'll have our first public hands-on opportunity very soon. At PAX East 2025 attendees will have the opportunity to play the open-world adventure game for themselves to see what all this excitement is about. If you're unfamiliar with Crimson Desert, let's catch you up:

Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure set in the beautiful yet brutal continent of Pywel. Discover adventure, uncover wonders, and experience thrilling action as you witness the saga surrounding Kliff, leader of the Greymanes, whose mission takes him on an incredible journey.

Crimson Desert, despite being very, very quiet in the run up till now has cracked the top 100 most whitelisted games, doing so almost immediately after the Steam page launched! To say that folks are excited for this one is an understatement.

Starting its life as an MMO, Crimson Desert quickly morphed into an expansive single-player experience that frankly defies belief. Every video (leaked or otherwise) showcases something new, from split-second-timing combat to riding dragons – it's hard to even wrap your hands around what Crimson Desert actually is at its core. There's one thing that's very clear, however – their proprietary Blackspace engine is absolutely stunning.

If you're as excited for Crimson Desert as we are, you won't have to wait long –
PAX East 2025 takes place at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center from Thursday, May 8, through Sunday, May 11, 2025.

Crimson Desert is coming late 2025 to Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Mac. Stay tuned - I think we're about to get a whole lot more info on this one.
